LA Schools to Get iPads for All Students

Los Angeles’ school system, the second largest in the United States, has ordered iPads for all its students, handing Apple a major success in its quest to make the tablet a replacement for textbooks. The city’s education board approved the purchase of $30 million worth of iPads.

The initial order is for more than 31,000 iPads, Apple said. The Los Angeles Unified School District has more than 640,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Apple said 10 million iPads are in use in schools today. The company said that when the rollout is completed, Los Angeles will be the largest school district in the nation to provide each student with an iPad.
